Beetaloo Operations Progress by Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd.
Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (“Falcon” or “Company”) is excited to share a significant update regarding its operational efforts in the Beetaloo Basin. The Shenandoah South 2H sidetrack well, known as SS2H ST1, has successfully reached a total measured depth of 16,182 feet (4,932 metres).
Well Development Strategy
This achievement includes a substantial horizontal section of the well, measuring 5,906 feet (1,800 metres) within the Amungee Member B-Shale. Approximately 5,577 feet (1,700 metres) of this section is intended for stimulation, in collaboration with Tamboran (B2) Pty Limited.
Consultation and Future Plans
The decision to case and suspend SS2H ST1 was made after thorough discussions with Tamboran B2. This strategic choice allows Falcon to prevent additional rig expenses and facilitates the immediate drilling of the next well, Shenandoah South 3H (SS3H), from the same pad.
Anticipated Stimulation Operations
Upon completion of the SS3H drilling, Liberty Energy is set to execute the stimulation of both SS2H ST1 and SS3H wells, planning 34 and 60 stages respectively. This essential work is expected to kick off in the first quarter of the following year, with the anticipation of producing initial flow rates shortly thereafter.
Creating New Drilling Space
Successfully stimulating the SS2H ST1 well will lead to the establishment of a drilling spacing unit encompassing 20,480 acres, amplifying the operational effectiveness within Beetaloo.
Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited's Role
Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited continues to play a vital role in these operations, maintaining a 5% participating interest in both wells part of the Shenandoah South Pilot Project.
Insights from Leadership
Philip O’Quigley, the CEO of Falcon, shared his enthusiasm regarding the continued drilling initiatives in Beetaloo: “We look forward to updating the market over the coming weeks as we continue with these drilling operations in the Beetaloo.”
